Ladies and gentlemen, WELCOME to Kingston and Boyce for the 2015 Winter AINVision song contest. Today, we find ourselves in the Dames Dome. We initially wanted to stage this event in the Jaeger Gardens of Port Ruppert, with Lea-Katarina as our host, but the weather and her husband did not approve, so they all put you inside this building with me. What a downgrade. In car terms you just swapped a Maybach for a VW Beetle.

Now, we didn't gather here because you all like us so much that you wouldn't leave, but for the simple reason that we won the last show. Yeah, I know, we're terrible hosts. Hosting such a grand event, giving everyone hope and in the end the price remains where it was before the show. But, to be true, Bosse had a good song and it was a deserving winner. So, because we sentimental folks like clinging onto the past, we have invited him back in the event. Performing his Winning Song, please welcome to the Stage Bosse!

Now, today we have 14 acts competing to win this event. Performers from all over the world have found their way into this cold weather to present us their songs and hope to win it all. This is the order of Performances. We begin with the Balaton Republic and will end in a grand Heimspiel for Leslie.

Now, It is finally time to begin the show. So let's not waste anymore time.

Folks, we have reached the halfway point of this Performance Final, with 7 out of 14 acts who have already performed. Now, to relieve a bit of the stress, we are putting a small halftime segment in here. At first, we would like to thank all of our sponsors, those who gave us enough money to host this event. Here they are.

For Halftime, there is this tradition to lure three well known national acts into the proximity of AINVision, hoping they ignite the crowd and furthermore hoping they become glued to the experience of AINVision so that they want to perform later themselves. The first act is a bloke from Portland, his name is Duncan Townsend, and this is him performing 'Rebel Yell'

Our second Act is well known. They have won it already once and they are always welcome to compete again. They have now released their new album, called 'We Were Here'. This is BOY, performing 'We Were Here'.

Now, our last halftime act is also no stranger to big stages. 5 years ago, at age 18, she has won the Eurovision Song Contest. Since then, she's had a massive success, both on national stages and international stages. Folks, please welcome with me the ever so charming Lena!

We now continue with our performers, we still have 7 acts left to perform, so let's get the party started again!

Now, this concludes our Performances of tonight and sets off the most important part of the whole contest: the Voting.

Every nation gets to vote on their top ten of performances of tonight, ranging with votes from 1 point for the tenth-best performance of the night to 12 points for their personal favourite. It is obvious that a nation shall not vote for itself. Even if your nation did not compete in this contest, you are welcome to submit your votes.A horde of highly skilled monkeys will now collect all your votes, send them to another herd of highly skilled dolphins, who will calculate scores and a team of skilled doves will then be on their way to us, when we come back here next week to present to you the voting outcomes. For now, our work is over and and we will sit back and await the voting results as anxiously as the all of you out there. See you then!
